“If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of itself.” D. L. Moody

It doesn’t pay to “get the cart in front of the horse,” and we do just that when we are overly concerned with how we appear to others instead of nurturing our inner life. Some people are cool, some try to look cool. I like what C. S. Lewis said about a truly humble person. “He will not be thinking about humility: he will not be thinking about himself at all.” Don’t work for a good reputation, just work. Don’t advertise your faith just be authentic expressing it.
